Have you tried turning off Plug 'N Play support on the
card?

tcm509: activate (hang-up here, with the floppy LED is ON forever).
the cpu-speed code in the filesystem kernel is older and buggier than the
cpu/terminal kernel and the delays in the 3c509 init code depend on that.
replace the filesysyem code with that from the cpu/terminal kernel.
make sure your 3c509b is set up with both plug-and-play and auto-select
modes disabled.

When I tried to set-up a 486 machine as a file server, the boot floppy
hang after showing several messages on the display:
found 9pcfs attr 0x1, start 0x79a
<next page>
ether0: 3C509: port 300 irq 5 addr 0 size 0 width 16: xxxxxxxxxxxx
^---real address
<next page>
tcm509: activate (hang-up here, with the floppy LED is ON forever).
My 3C509B has the feature as follows:
Adapter type: combo
Date of manufacture: 6/13/95
Division code: 6
Product code: BZ
I/O base address: 300H
Interrupt request level: 5
Boot PROM size: disabled
Transceiver type: auto select
On this 3C509B card, I'm also experiencing strange behaviour when I
use the machine as a terminal with local disk of fully installed CDROM.
At the boot time (still in CGA mode (I think in b.com mode), I can see
the messages on the display as below:
2508 free pages, 10032K bytes, swap 52912K, highwater 500K, headroom 624K
CPU is a 33 MHz Intel486DX (cpuid: ax 400 dx 0)
ether0: 3C509: port 300 irq 5 addr 0 size 0 width 16: xxxxxxxxxxxx
scsi0: aha1542: port 330 irq 11, dma 5,
and after VGA mode,
/bin/dossrv 21: serving #s/dos
ipconfig: local IP address not found, IP not configured.
To use IP, edit /lib/ndb/local and reboot.
Of course, I have 'sys' entry for this machine in /lib/ndb/local.
This never happenes when I forced to set the sysname in /rc/bin/termrc,
like sysname=andesite.
Then, I looked into the source of /sys/src/cmd/ndb/cs.c, and I got
the conclusion that it failed to get 'myetheraddr' from the 3C509 board
(before the line 725 of cs.c (if(*ipa==0 && isether)).
However, we can get the data from the b.com, as I showed above.
Therefore, I'm now doubting the 3C509B driver of the 9pc. In fact,
it's different from that in boot/pc.
I'd be happy, if sopmeone could point me the real reason.
Thanks in advance.
